Occupy Melbourne protesters have decided not to resume their action on Wednesday and disrupt the Queen's visit to the city.

A freshly-painted and refurbished red and white tram will take the Queen and the Duke of Edinburgh down Swanston Street to a state reception at Government House.

At a meeting on the lawns of the State Library to decide on any further action, hundreds of Occupy Melbourne activists decided it was not right to disrupt the appearance.

"People were concerned that protesting would just produce a belligerent front for Occupy Melbourne," protester Jeff Reinten said.

"[It would] undermine the process which we are actually in which is consensus building and direct democracy open to the entire community and all of the people of the world to contribute to positive change."

However he says Tuesday's vote was close, with some feeling the Queen's visit would have been a powerful opportunity.
